Message to Yr 11 students and their parents

Arrangements for Super Wednesday

As you may be aware, arrangements for the pattern of study for Year 11 students in 2011 vary from in previous years. Coffs Harbour High School will be involved in the Coffs Coast Combined Curriculum (C4): Delivering Quality and Choice in Public Education initiative. A component of this collaboration is Super Wednesday, an initiative which will enable the delivery of shared courses across schools to enhance curriculum opportunities for our students. In 2011, 150 students across 7 Public High Schools in our area will travel to access these shared courses. Students involved will have received an information package in December 2010, which provided details about the courses they have elected to study. Students who are completing Wednesday courses will sign in and attend classes as per procedures for other days. Students who do not have classes on a Wednesday have the options of:

Attending school from periods 1‐3 where there will be supervised study time in the library.

Students will have access to technology, one teacher per period and the librarian. Students

will sign a register in the front office to indicate their attendance. Please note this service is

designed for serious study only, such as completing independent homework and

assignments. Students who are not focussed will be asked to leave.

Staying at home to complete study

Attending Work Placement or working in a part time job

Using this time to balancing their sporting and/or cultural commitments

If students are at school on a Wednesday, they will be expected to be either in class or in the Library and they will not be permitted to sit around in the playground where they may disturb other classes. We wish all students well in their senior studies and encourage parents and students to contact the Deputy Principal, Ms Kathy Steward or Year Adviser, Mr Col Graham should they have any concerns or questions about arrangements or expectations. Yours Sincerely, Ms Patti Kearns Principal 31st January 2011

Q Appendix 1 – Calendar for assessment tasks 81 ‐ 85


4

A. A message from the Year Adviser To all Year 11 Students and your Families By now you will have settled into your senior studies. I cannot stress enough the importance of a regular routine that includes time set aside each day for study, revision and homework. This is one of the most pro‐active things that you can do to ensure a good result in your Higher School Certificate, and in all tasks leading up to this examination period. Sometime throughout the next eighteen months your senior workload and assessment tasks may seem overwhelming. Don’t be afraid to seek help or advice from your teachers, other staff or myself. Get in early. Don’t wait until you are too stressed to cope. Your teachers are here to assist you. If you think you are unable to meet a deadline, don’t wait until the last minute to discuss this with your teacher. In the case of genuine difficulties such as a family crisis or health problems, alternative arrangements can be made. It is up to you to communicate clearly with your teachers. Two useful sites that can provide you with very good information related to your courses and the exam are www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au and www.hsc.csu.edu.au. Plan ahead and stick to your study routine and ask for help when you need it. Enjoy the next eighteen months, they will go past too quickly. Study smart, study consistently. Be involved in your school. Best wishes Mr C Graham Year 11 Adviser

B. Pathways of study in Year 11 At Coffs Harbour High School, pathways of study in Year 11 fit into one of the following categories, depending upon the student’s academic ability, career aspirations, interests and skills.

1. HSC course/ ATAR pathway means that students are studying at least 12 units of Board Developed Courses and they are eligible to apply for an ATAR and attend University. They may include one VET course in these 12 units.

2. HSC course/ NON ATAR pathway means that students are studying at least 12 units which may be a combination of Board Developed and Board Endorsed Courses. They are not eligible to apply for an ATAR or attend University straight from school, and are more likely to have career aspirations which include TAFE or on the job training. (Students are reminded that there are other pathways to university for mature aged students, should they change their mind in a few years time).

3. Year 12 Certificate of Attainment means that students are studying courses which are mostly Board Endorsed and may include substantial time at TAFE, such as the Fast Track TVET course. (Formerly known as SPY). These students are generally keen to exit to employment once they turn 17 years.


5

C. Assessment requirements in Years 11 and 12 – HSC ATAR and HSC NON ATAR students Assessment consists of a series of tasks which measure a student’s achievement in a particular course. The purpose of Preliminary assessment is to compare the achievement of all students within a course and rank them accordingly, showing relative differences.

A variety of formal assessment tasks are used in each course. These tasks may be completed in the classroom or assigned as homework or study activities, for example written, practical, oral, aural tests, assignments, essays, projects, field work, oral presentations, research, design and creation of major works, demonstrations, rehearsed and impromptu performances. The final Higher School Certificate Examination is included at the end of Year 12 for courses which are externally assessed and contribute to ATAR.

The final assessment total is sent to the Board of Studies (BOS) in Term 3 of Year 12. The BOS will moderate this school mark using the HSC exam marks obtained by all students in each course at Coffs Harbour High School. The rank order within each course will not change, but the mark given by the school will be altered by this process. This moderated assessment mark will appear on the HSC along with the HSC examination mark for each course. These marks will be allocated within one of 6 performance bands with band 6 being the highest.

The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) calculated by the universities is based on the raw exam mark and the moderated assessment mark where you have selected a combination of courses which will make you eligible for an ATAR.

D. Vocational Education – dual accreditation

Students who have elected to study a VET (Vocational Education and Training) course will be assessed on their ability to achieve competency standards over a continuous, two‐year course of study (as opposed to other courses which separate Preliminary (Year 11) and HSC (year 12) requirements).

Students have the opportunity to gain Industry Accreditation by achieving the required competency standards: AND Higher School Certificate Accreditation by sitting for the Higher School Certificate Examination in the Vocational Education course.


6

E. The school’s responsibilities in relation to assessment

1. At the commencement of each course each faculty is required to provide students with a list of all assessment tasks to be completed through the course and the value (weighting) of each task. The list will indicate the time that the task is due. These details are found in this book.

2. Students must be notified of the specific date and time when each assessment task will fall due at least 10 school days prior to the date of the task.

3. Students will be provided with clear instructions on the basis on which their performance will be judged. This advice is called a “RUBRIC” and will be issued, in writing, with each task.

4. The same or equivalent tasks will be undertaken by all students in a course, regardless

of which class they are in. Marking procedures will include consultation between teachers and double marking where appropriate.

5. A student’s attitude, interest or conduct is not considered when marking an assessment task. However, it is obvious that effort, interest and attitude will affect a student’s ability to achieve and may also affect the achievement of other students.

6. Award zero marks (0%), if a student fails to submit an assessment task when it is due, and no misadventure form is received or accepted.

7. Award zero marks (0%), to assessment task submitted late (after the stipulated time on the notified due date), but record that completion of the task will be accredited towards satisfying mandatory HSC course requirements.

8. Award zero marks (0%), to an assessment task where a student has been found guilty of malpractice (eg cheating in an exam, copying the work of others).


7

F. Student responsibilities in relation to assessment

1. You are expected to complete all assessment tasks by the due date and time.

2. Use the calendar pages in the book to track all of your assessment tasks.

3. Some assessment tasks involve attendance at excursions, field studies etc. Attendance is compulsory. Where financial hardship is a factor the Head Teacher Welfare should be approached for assistance.

4. It is your responsibility to ensure that you make backup copies of computer disks and other media. Failure of technology is not a valid reason for failing to submit a task on time.

5. All work submitted for assessment must be your own work. Any breach of this rule will result in a mark of zero.

6. It is your responsibility to be aware of assessment task dates for all of your courses and to organise your schedule accordingly.

7. Students must attend all timetabled classes and will not be granted leave of absence to study for other assessment tasks in these times.

8. Students who are absent on the day when the class is notified of an assessment task

are responsible for obtaining details from their teachers immediately on their return to school. They will be expected to complete the task on time.

9. If you know in advance that you are going to miss an assessment task, either hand in the assessment task before the absence or negotiate alternative arrangements with your teacher and/or the Head Teacher of the faculty. Documentation explaining the absence (as outlined above) will be required

10. If you are sick on the day when an assessment item is due you must arrange to get the task to the teacher by the deadline set for the task. Inform the school on the day of the task – phone, fax or e‐mail the school and leave a message for your teacher or Head Teacher of the relevant faculty

11. Where you feel there is a valid reason, such as serious illness, for missing a task or being unable to submit a task, you must complete a Misadventure form and report to the relevant teacher or Head Teacher immediately upon your return to school with supporting documentation, such as a medical certificate, to discuss your case.

12. If your Misadventure form is accepted, the choice of completing the original task, completing an alternative task or receiving an estimate for the task rests with the Head Teacher of the relevant faculty.

13. Assessment tasks may be submitted to the course teacher in person, by courier, by postal mail or by e‐mail to the school address. The assessment task must be submitted at the stipulated time. Where no time is stipulated it cannot be submitted after 3.30 pm on the day it is due.


8

G. Satisfactory completion of courses Students are reminded that in order to complete their Preliminary year satisfactorily they must achieve some or all of the course outcomes in at least twelve units of study in Year 11. A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the Principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:

1. Followed the course developed or endorsed by the NSW Board of Studies; 2. Applied him/her self with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and

experiences provided in the course by the school; 3. Achieved some or all of the course outcomes; 4. Sat for and made genuine attempts to complete all examinations; 5. Completed formal assessment tasks worth in excess of 50% of the total available

marks, within the timeframe determined by Coffs Harbour High School’s HSC Formal Assessment Schedule;

6. Maintained a satisfactory record of attendance.

H. Unsatisfactory completion of courses A student will be considered unsatisfactory in a course if they fail to apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences required by the school to achieve some or all of the course outcomes. Indicators of concern include:

1. An excessive number of absences or lateness to school, particularly if these are unexplained.

2. An excessive rate of absences from or lateness to classes in one or more courses, particularly if these are unexplained.

3. Poor achievement in class tests, assignments etc caused by lack of application.

4. Poor classroom behaviour which inhibits your own and others’ learning.

5. Failure to submit assessment tasks.

6. Failure to submit assessment tasks on time on the due date.

7. Failure to complete class work and homework.

8. Proven case of copying, plagiarism or cheating.


9

I. Warning Letters to students

If at any stage during the course it appears that a student will not achieve a sufficient number of outcomes, a Warning Letter will be sent. The purpose of these letters is:

1. To give students a warning in time for them to correct the problem 2. To clarify their current status regarding an unsatisfactory designation

If a student receives Warning Letter 1, Warning Letter 2 and Warning Letter 3 for the same subject, the Head Teacher of the subject will refer the student to the Deputy Principal/Principal. An interview with the parents and student will be held and if satisfactory progress towards fulfilling the requirements is not demonstrated, the Principal is obliged to issue an “N” award. The student is entitled to appeal to the Board of Studies about the “N” award. If the “N” award issued by the school is upheld by the Board of Studies, the student will not be given HSC accreditation in that particular course. This would necessitate studying these units again the following year to complete the correct number of units. The HSC would be awarded when 10 units are completed.

J. Appealing an assessment mark If a student is unhappy with an assessment mark, they have the right of appeal, following the process outlined below.

1. See your classroom teacher within two school days of receiving your mark and explain the reason for your unhappiness. Attempt to negotiate a solution.

2. If you are still unhappy after the interview, see the Head Teacher of the faculty immediately. If necessary the Head Teacher may refer the problem to the Principal and Deputy Principal of Year 12.

3. Students may appeal against an assessment mark within five (5) working days of notification to the Principal.

4. Where a student’s performance is deemed unsatisfactory and an N‐Award in a particular course is recommended, the student has the right of appeal initially to the Principal and, subsequently, to the NSW Board of Studies.

5. Where a student’s position at Coffs Harbour High School is declared invalid due to Non‐

Serious Attempt, the student has the right of appeal through the School Education Director.
